Pelvicachromis taeniatus Moliwe

[edinjapan]

Have just booked a Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Kienke" as well for next week. Are the conditions similar for them?

Thanks again.

Picked up a nice sized pair of these fish from my LFS here in Tokyo. They specialize in cichlids. Lots of displaying and other action but they haven't gotten down to spawning. By comparison my B pallifina which share the other half of the tank (partitioned BTW) have been busy and the male is carrying eggs. Water is 28ºC pH is 5.8 feed with shrimp FD & live, live scuds, snails, FD worms, flake foods and cichlid mix. Tank is 180cm long, heavily planted, lots of caves and driftwood.

How can I get them to breed?
Does anybody have P sacrimontis and P sp Blue Fin?
